A tech-challenged Texas teacher who apparently thought she was communicating directly with President Trump on Twitter asked for his help in booting “illegal students from Mexico” from her school.

Georgia Clark, an English teacher at Carter-Riverside High School in Fort Worth, sought out assistance from the commander-in-chief last month in several posts from her Twitter account, @Rebecca1939, which has since been deleted.

“Mr. President, Fort Worth Independent School District is loaded with illegal students from Mexico,” one message sent on May 17 read. “Carter-Riverside High School has been taken over by them.”

In another message, Clark said she did “not know what to do” to address the problem and provided two phone numbers to contact her. She said her earlier attempts to “remove the illegals” were rebuffed by local and federal authorities in Fort Worth, where 34 percent of residents are Hispanic or Latino, census data shows.

“The district knows about the issue and turns a blind eye to it,” Clark tweeted.

She also told Trump in another tweet that she needed “protection from recrimination” if and when steps to remove the undocumented students were taken.

Clark later told district officials she thought the messages were private and didn’t intend for them to be public, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. She initially was placed on administrative leave with pay before the school district voted 8-0 late Tuesday to fire her. :mad:

Clark, who could not be reached for comment, now has 15 days to appeal. While no one spoke in her defense, a total of 15 traitors called for Clark’s termination during Tuesday’s vote, which she did not attend.

District officials had actually voted to fire Clark six years ago over troubling language and behavior toward students, but a teachers group found a resolution for her to remain employed, the Star-Telegram reports.

Critics of Clark who called for her dismissal during Tuesday’s vote included an immigrant advocacy group who accused her of wanting to “turn classrooms into deportation zones” and a former student in the district who said Clark’s presence in a classroom would be extremely detrimental to immigrants like himself.

“Why did we wait until now?” said Julio Argueta, who is attending Texas Christian University. “We need to fire this teacher and we need to prevent her from ever teaching again.” :mad: :mad: :mad:
